  1. Interested in Non medical and medical home care

    HarryHK replied to ginny_nurse's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    This may seem a little simple, but why not go to work for a home health agency to learn the ropes? A couple of months might prove

  2. Center for Nurse Entrepreneurship

    HarryHK replied to nightingale's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Thanks for the link! The articles posted are more inspirational than educational - education seems to be reserved for enrolled students. Still, this is an interesting program. Here are a couple of...

  3. Business Idea

    HarryHK replied to SBarr's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Why not just start out doing a bit of part time for the parents who expressed interest? See how it goes, and what kind of revenue you might make compared to your real job income. Best way to ease into...

  4. independent contract worker as an RN

    HarryHK replied to gooch951's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Typical contract rates for travelers in California range from $55 to $70 an hour. $62 is typical for Northern California, $5 less for Southern. Generally as far as I know, private surgery centers pay...

  5. What to do while waiting for Health Insurance?

    HarryHK replied to dpipes44's topic in Travel

    Doesn't matter. While it is typically $300 to $400, it can run upwards of $700. There is no free lunch, you are paying this either way (coming out of what your former employer pays you in hourly). And...

  6. What to do while waiting for Health Insurance?

    HarryHK replied to dpipes44's topic in Travel

    Why not COBRA the insurance that you have? You can do that up to 18

  7. Highway Hypodermics

    HarryHK replied to ruthiebaby88's topic in Travel

    Highway Hypodermics rates agencies by their benefits and whether or not they returned the questionnaire. Really says nothing about their "goodness". If CCTC and AM participated, they would be at the...

  8. pay rate hell..

    HarryHK replied to ruthiebaby88's topic in Travel

    Highway Hypodermics rates agencies by their benefits and whether or not they returned the questionnaire. Really says nothing about their "goodness". If CCTC and AM participated, they would be at the...

  9. Pre-Employment Screening Clinic

    HarryHK replied to swillmsrn's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Hard to compete with LabCore and Quest in this space. However, if you by some chance live in an under served area, you may be able to open up an affiliated collection office. If so, those two...

  10. How to become a Nurse Recruit Agency?

    HarryHK replied to yxj124's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    You have a smart husband. I can tell you two good reasons why he said what he said. One: No partners, no partner problems. There will always be differences of opinion on how to run your business, and...

  11. Residential Care Homes

    HarryHK replied to micheleg1's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    "A potential problem is if someone stops paying - and will not move the client somewhere else." A good contract and a credit check should help with

  12. How to become a Nurse Recruit Agency?

    HarryHK replied to yxj124's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    My apologies to all. I apparently did not read the whole thread. The original poster has significant resources, and has already had success in the business. Sounds like I was not the only one who...

  13. How to become a Nurse Recruit Agency?

    HarryHK replied to yxj124's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    I started an agency with only a few thousand dollars for living expenses until invoices started getting paid. There are very few costs involved with starting an agency, that is why you see perhaps a...

  14. Immigration

    HarryHK replied to tryinrealhard's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Sounds like you have a business training nurses in India. That is completely separate from the business of placing nurses here. Sounds like you are just a middleman, getting a fee for getting the...

  15. Should I recruit employees first or get contracts first?

    HarryHK replied to Kindhearted's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Starting with contacts is the way to go. And if you have the capital for a couple of employees, you're half way there. Develop a profile on the nurses you have and present them to the hospital. Your...

  16. Should I recruit employees first or get contracts first?

    HarryHK replied to Kindhearted's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Suzanne has given good advice. But I think more information about your plans and what you have done to date is needed. Are you a nurse? Do you have a lot of relationships with local hospitals now from...

  17. New Independent Here!

    HarryHK replied to flowerchild's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    I never stated an opinion one way or another. Exploitation is a political view primarily. Your exact words: I think I paraphrased you accurately. Actually, in the world of travel nursing, just...

  18. Frustrated with NSO

    HarryHK replied to mharrah's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Actually, this is not an exclusion named in the boilerplate fine print. And for what it is worth, I don't think that she is a practitioner in the way you apparently mean it. She is working under the...

  19. Frustrated with NSO

    HarryHK replied to mharrah's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    They sent me a folder with 14 pages of conditions and terms. It is actually the underwriter's documents, CNA. If you message me your email address, I will email you a copy. Never had a hospital ask me...

  20. New Independent Here!

    HarryHK replied to flowerchild's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    And it is a good humble opinion! There certainly is a difference in attitude and ownership of your profession between employees and independents. Shouldn't be, but it's there! I did not even get into...

  21. IC vs.employee-Tax problems later on?

    HarryHK replied to krazenurse's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Thanks, never noticed that before. It's been

  22. IC vs.employee-Tax problems later on?

    HarryHK replied to krazenurse's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Not sure where you got that from. I did not quote my entire work history. I don't see how it matters, but I was 37 when I graduated from nursing school. I worked at one hospital for 3 years, traveled...

  23. New Independent Here!

    HarryHK replied to flowerchild's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    OK, I'm going to have to take offense. It sounds like your sole purpose here on the nurse entrepreneurs forum is to tell us that we are better off being employees! That is patently offensive,...

  24. starting nurse owned agency

    HarryHK replied to hazydaz's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    That's a great answer! In a nutshell! Without trying to write a book, your marketing is your nurse's profile. They like that, ask them for a contract for that nurse. (Have one ready). This is advice...

  25. Starting a Supplemental Staffing Agency: Help

    HarryHK replied to pediatricrn's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    OK, without actually publishing my corp income statement, here is a rough breakdown. Revenue $130,000 Subcontractor $35,000 Lodging $35,000 M&IE $15,000 Misc $5,000 Profit sharing $6,000 Benefits...
